  No option to "snap desktop icons to grid" -- FEATURE REQUEST

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It is annoying that I cannot keep my desktop icons perfectly spaced
  into a grid fashion, unlike Windows and MacOS which *do* have that
  option.

  Not only annoying, but also not being able to have my icons perfectly
  aligned interferes with my productivity level as well, as it can take
  a little longer for me to sift through my icons because they are
  distributed unevenly across a horizontal and vertical playing field.

  The [current] "keep aligned" option only works in a vertical fashion,
  and not horizontal.
